Follow @Ryan_Kantor It’s been WAY too long. I’m happy to say Mark Gordon, an occasional writer for us has contributed his preview in much the same format (three positives/three negatives) as the previous. A great read below, check it out. There’s something for Clemson and FSU fans alike. Ladies and gentlemen, it is once again that … Continue reading
Follow @Ryan_Kantor Three Reasons Clemson Will Beat FSU 1. Battle in the Trenches Continuing the tradition of great Clemson pass rushers like William “Refrigerator” Perry, Gaines Adams, and Da’Quan Bowers, Clemson is back to boasting a premier defensive line, headlined by DT Grady Jarrett and DE Vic Beasley. Clemson has 24 sacks on the season, second in the … Continue reading
Follow @Ryan_Kantor Halfway through the season, Clemson now sits undefeated and in national championship contention. Based on the original victory likelihood percentages laid out in the 2013 Clemson Football Season Preview, I favored Clemson in each game (including UGA, to which Vegas disagreed). However, rather than just picking favorites we slapped a little intellectual bonus in … Continue reading
Follow @Ryan_Kantor We’re at halftime of the college football season, and it’s amazing (and sad) how quickly it flies by! We wait eight months and then blink and it’s already at the midway point. In first half of the year, the ACC enjoyed some marquee wins with Clemson knocking of then #5 UGA and Miami … Continue reading

Follow @Ryan_Kantor Let me begin by jokingly calling out Robert Reinhard, Wake Forest SB Nation blogger, for his #GoACC Power Rankings that have FSU ranked above Clemson. This comes despite Clemson’s win over UGA, which now looks like a top five team, while FSU’s best wins include a 14-point comeback win against Boston College last week … Continue reading
Follow @Ryan_Kantor What is this monstrosity? What in the world are they doing up in Blacksburg? Two years ago I gave Maryland a hard time about their ugly helmets and uniforms, but who knew Virginia Tech would blow them out of the water. VT has been breaking out some hideous uniforms and eye sore helmets … Continue reading
Follow @Ryan_Kantor The hurry-up no-huddle (HUNH) offense has taken college football by storm. With Chip Kelly at the helm as the Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach it’s even making an appearance in the NFL. With it’s newfound popularity, comes a new way to slow blazing fast offenses. Unfortunately, that “strategy” is defense players faking injuries. We’ve … Continue reading
Mark Rogers posts hundreds of college football discussions on his website and invited me to join him for a 15:00 discussion leading up to Clemson’s game at NC State.

Last week I published this article on the college football conferences and argued that no conference outside of the SEC could make a sound claim as being stronger than the ACC. I was promptly lambasted by Nebraska and UCLA fans for not shedding a favorable enough light on their beloved programs. So, here is a completely, 100%, objective graphic … Continue reading
